Well, it’s time to start all over again, just as soon as I cross the southern border into Mexico.

I hate it, but at least I have the money I saved from working for Greer. From teasing him and fooling around with him mostly.

Damn him! Damn him for not telling me and then for pushing me away when I found out who the woman was from that first day.

I had a feeling that it was something…ugly from the way he avoided talking about her. I should’ve made him tell me before this morning.

The fact that he broke things off with her meant something, no matter what he said. I meant something to him.

And yet, he let his pride override whatever he felt for me instead of just being honest.

Deep down, I know he did me a favor.

It’s for the best that I’m leaving Rockland now. I stayed too long as it is. It’s not like I could stick around forever. I have to keep moving and starting over. Greer firing me was the best for both of us.

Because no matter how pissed I am at Greer right now for hurting me, I never want him to suffer for being with me. I couldn’t handle it if he got hurt or sent to prison for shit he didn’t do.

I kept my secrets from him to keep him safe, while he kept secrets to hide his financial problems from me.

I knew that the bar wasn’t making much money, that he was telling the truth about not being able to hire me because he could barely afford to keep the lights on. If there was a way for me to help him, I would have. But I can’t even use my full name or check my bank account without worrying it’ll be flagged, that my location will be revealed to the wrong person.

At least this time, I’m on the road with a little more cash than I had before, thanks to Greer. I have money for gas and can even afford a hotel for a few nights, which is all I hope it’ll take to get to the border. I don’t know what I’ll need for the border crossing, but I’m sure I’ll be able to figure something out without resorting to hiding in a trunk. I’ll do whatever it takes, though.

Ugh, but keeping my attention on the road tonight isn’t as easy as it should be. There’s a burning ache in the center of my chest that’s been there since Greer fired me.

And I’m not sure if it’ll ever go away no matter how far I drive.

Unlike before, I can’t ever escape Greer or the way he made me feel. We may have only had a few weeks together, but they were the best of my life.

I thought opening my own restaurant, maybe even starting a franchise, was what I needed to be happy in my life.

It turns out I was wrong. I wasn’t missing something to make me feel whole. I was missing someone.
